Entomophilous flowers are related to
A. Honey bees
B. Wind
C. Water
D. Hairy Mammals
Solution
Entomophily or insect pollination is a type of pollination where pollen of plants, not only of flowering plants, are distributed by insects. Insect pollinators like bees have adaptations for their role, like lapping or sucking mouthparts to take in nectar. In some species they have pollen baskets on their hind legs.
Complete answer:
Option – A
Honey bee is a eusocial flying insect within the genus of Apis of the bee clade. They are native to Eurasia but some are spread to four other continents by human beings. They are known for construction of perennial, colonial nests from wax, for the large size of their colonies, as well as for their surplus production along with storage of honey.
Option – B
Wind is the flow of gases on a large scale. On the surface of the Earth, the wind includes bulk movement of air. Winds are generally classified by their spatial scale, their speed, the types of forces that cause them, the regions in which they occur, as well as their effect.
Option – C
Water is an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless, as well as nearly colorless chemical substance which is the key constituent of Earth's hydrosphere along with it is the fluid necessary for all the known living organisms.
Option – D –
The typical mammalian hairy skin or known as fur includes the living follicle that is the hair pit, oil glands that help in maintaining the moisture as well as flexibility of the hair, sweat glands that provide water.
So, the correct answer to the question is option - A “Honey bees”.
Note: Flowers pollinated by insects mainly advertise themselves with bright colours, as well as they sometimes are with conspicuous patterns leading to rewards of pollen and nectar. They may have an attractive scent which in some cases mimics insect pheromones.
